Hard, spiny, or bumpy endoskeleton covered with a thin epidermis.

Endoskeleton composed of calcium carbonate (limestone).

Some spines are modified into pedicellariae for protection or self‐cleaning.

Can be either rigid (as when we try to pull one off of a rock) or very flexible (when righting itself), since endoskeleton is made of plates joined by muscles which can contract or relax.

Endoskeleton

Enables sessile & slow‐moving animals to sense potential food, predators, and other aspects of their environment from all directions

1. Class Asteroidea: Ex. Sea stars Most species have 5 or more arms

2. Class Ophiuroidea: Ex. Brittle Star & basket star Compact size; move quickly Arms used for motility

Echinoderm Diversity

3. Class Crinoidea: Ex. Sea lilies & feather star Few living species remain Sea lilies are attached to the ocean floor Feather stars begin attached but break 

away and swim freely

4. Class Echinoidea: Ex. Sea urchin & sand dollar Bodies shaped like spheres or disks; no 

arms Solid, internal shell Special feeding structures called 

Aristotle’s lantern: made up of five sharp, triangular tooth‐likes structures surrounding the mouth

5. Class Holothuroidea: Ex. Sea cucumber No arms; elongated body Bilaterally segmented Lie and move on one side only

Movement carried out by WATER VASCULAR SYSTEM WVS: A network of fluid‐filled tubes that enable the sea star to 

move Along the underside of each of the sea star’s arms are many 

pairs of TUBE FEET Tube feet: external structures of the water vascular system

On top of each tube foot is an AMPULLA Ampulla: muscular sac that helps force water through the WVS

Muscles of the ampullae contract, pushing water into the tube foot causing it to extend

When the foot attaches to a surface, it contracts, pushing the water back into the ampullae and pulling the sea star forward

All echinoderms have a mouth, stomach and intestines.

Sea stars are carnivorous Feed on mollusks by extruding their 

stomach through their mouth onto the food. 

Tube feet aid in prying apart shells of mollusks.  

Powerful enzymes are secreted by a pair of digestive glands in each arm

The stomach then absorbs the liquid food.  (No intestine needed). 

Sea StarDigestion

There is a heart‐like sac under the madreporite that pushes fluid nearly identical to seawater through the coelem, bathing all organs

The fluid is kept in motion by beating cilia.

Skin gills and tube feet bring in oxygen to this fluid.

Sea StarCirculation of Nutrients

Wastes are flushed from body through the tube feet or skin gills.

A sea star also has an anus, located in the center of the dorsal side.

Sea StarExcretion

No brain or even fused ganglia, only a central nerve ring that surrounds the mouth

Nerves extend from the nerve ring down each ray (below radial canals) into a nerve net that is sensory and coordinates movement

No sensory organs, only cells that detect light & touch Have eyespots at the end of each arm that allow them to detect light, and chemical receptors on their tube feet

Sea StarNervous System

Page 17: Phylum Echinodermata Notes - Sardis Secondary School Echinodermata... · General characteristics Hard, spiny, or bumpy endoskeleton covered with a thin ... Phylum Echinodermata Includes

Sea stars are separately sexed. Two ovaries or testes lie in the corners of each arm and open directly to the exterior

Spawning by one can result in those nearby to also spawn
